Integration of Salesforce with Google Suite

Integration of Salesforce with Google Suite

n n n nnLast year, when Salesforce announced a strategic partnership with Google, two of the world’s most innovative enterprises joined hands. In a year, both the tech giants have developed that relationship and extended to help other businesses connect to their customers in innovative ways. n Among an extensive range of facets to the partnership, there are few notable integrations that a Salesforce user can do with his Google account in order to improve productivity and save time. Let’s have a sneak peek of some of the most common integrations.  n Salesforce & Gmail  n A Salesforce user can integrate their Salesforce account with Gmail. Known as Lightning for Gmail, an admin needs to enable the integration & users need to install a Chrome extension. Salesforce Gmail integration will result in higher Salesforce adoption as most of the users are familiar with Gmail.  n Salesforce Contacts & Google Contacts  nA Salesforce user can sync all his Salesforce Contacts & Google Contacts. This is a server-side integration & needs to be done by the admin. Salesforce Contacts with matching filter criteria can be synced with Google Contacts. This is called Salesforce Sync. Similarly, Google Contacts can also be synced with Salesforce Contacts. nnSalesforce Events & Google Calendar nnSame as Contact Sync, a Salesforce user can sync his Salesforce Events with Google Calendar. This is also a component of Lightning Sync. Admin needs to do a common configuration to integrate current & future Google Calendar meetings with Salesforce Events. When a Salesforce user links Google Calendar event to a Salesforce record, the event will appear in the Salesforce record’s Activity Lightning Page component. n Salesforce Data & Google Sheets n Salesforce users can now integrate their Salesforce data with Google sheets. Google sheet has Salesforce as one of the data sources now. By using any connector this can be performed. This integration will help Salesforce users apply additional analytics & fetch reports. Executive level presentations can embed Sheets visualization of Salesforce data in Google Slides.  nSalesforce Files & Google DrivennLike data, Salesforce files can be integrated with Google Drive. This can be done using connectors. Salesforce offers limited storage and additional storage cost is expensive. Salesforce users can use higher Google Drive Storage to store a huge number of files and attachments. XfilesPro is the best solution for Salesforce users to integrate their Salesforce account with Google Drive for file storage. n Also Read: Why choose XfilesPro for Salesforce external file storage in Google Drive? n What is XfilesPro? n XfilesPro is a next-gen Salesforce external file storage solution that helps Salesforce users store & collaborates all their files & attachments of any size in any kind of external storage system including AWS, Google, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. With XfilesPro in place, Salesforce users can save high storage costs.

Are you still paying additional Salesforce file storage costs?

Are you still paying additional Salesforce file storage cost?

Last Updated: September 22, 2023 A typical sales cycle consists of multiple numbers of contacts, emails, opportunities, accounts, proposals, quotes, and also maintains a lot of documents of different types & needs including files, notes, and attachments. Often it becomes challenging for a sales rep to manage this much information of a single customer. And there are many such customers and information related to them which each sales rep has to deal with. Same with service agents as well in order to deliver seamless customer service. To keep all this information, you need a lot of storage space as well. Salesforce offers different types of storage options to keep specific types of information. All the files that are generated while using the CRM automatically get stored in a dedicated file storage space. This includes files generated by standard users, community users, files from 3rd-party AppExchange apps connected with the CRM, Chatter files, and other custom Salesforce apps. The default file storage space is limited in Salesforce as it is primarily not a storage system. Once users run out of their allocated file storage, either they need to buy additional storage from Salesforce or need to find another way to optimize the existing storage. Are you among the customers who are still upgrading expensive additional file storage space from Salesforce? To help you prevent paying high Salesforce file storage costs, XfilesPro offers an advanced file management application to manage a large number of Salesforce files with ease. With XfilesPro, Salesforce customers can automatically move Salesforce files to any external document storage system of their choice. This could be cloud document storage systems like SharePoint, Amazon S3, OneDrive, Google Drive, or On-prem storage systems. Before learning more about XfilesPro, let’s see how much file storage space you get in Salesforce & what are the costs associated with it. How much file storage space do you have in Salesforce? Currently, Salesforce offers 10GB of file storage per org for Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions. The Essential edition is allocated 1GB of file storage per org. Orgs are additionally allocated file storage based on the number of standard user licenses. In Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions, orgs are allocated 2 GB of file storage per user license. Contact Manager, Group, Professional Edition orgs are allocated 612 MB per standard user license, which includes 100 MB per user license plus 512 MB per license for the Salesforce CRM Content feature license. An org with fewer than 10 users will receive a total of 1 GB of per-user file storage rather than a 100 MB per-user license. What is the file size limit in Salesforce? The file size that is usually seen, is the 2 GB upper limit. In fact, this is the maximum size allowed by the Salesforce system. Since Salesforce has always been integrating with other applications, it should fit all those limits where they are applied. For instance, if there is a 10 MB limit to the file sizes in Google Drive. In a similar manner, the 5 MB single file or the 10 MB file for attachment should not necessarily be a limit by Salesforce, but one must adhere to it. Why is XfilesPro a Better Choice for Salesforce Storage Management? With XfilesPro, Salesforce customers can completely avoid paying additional file storage costs as they can easily move files from Salesforce to less expensive secondary storage spaces. This migration ensures Salesforce app never hits its storage limits while files are also accessible. Using XfilesPro for Salesforce not only makes the CRM efficient but also allows customers to use a comprehensive document management system with SharePoint, S3, OneDrive, or Google Drive.

How XfilesPro helped an Australian non-profit organization manage 6K+ files and efficiently store them in Amazon S3

How XfilesPro helped an Australian non-profit organization manage 6K+ files and efficiently store them in Amazon S3

  As a Salesforce external file storage solution, XfilesPro helped many companies resolve unique technological challenges related to Salesforce file storage with its vibrant features and functionalities. The other day when one of the biggest Australian non-profit organizations ‘Leukaemia Foundation‘ faced stiff challenges managing their Salesforce files, they were looking for a solution which can help them store their Salesforce files in an external storage system and XfilesPro was the savior.  The challenge was not limited to storing Salesforce files externally, it was much bigger than that. When Leukaemia Foundation’s Salesforce Admin Mike Fensom communicated with our sales team and explained them the problems they are facing, he said “We wanted to link over 6000 files from another CRM into Salesforce. But we know we will exceed our file storage limits.” Mike’s concern was any file storage solution would take a lot of time importing these many files to their Salesforce system and this process might impact business continuity as well as involves risk.  Adding 6K+ new files to Salesforce system from another CRM would definitely exceed the file storage limits and purchasing additional file storage space was an expensive investment. Seamlessly importing 6K+ files to Salesforce, then storing them along with the existing files in the external cloud storage (Amazon S3) and finally collaborating them all was not easy. High level of expertise was required and as always XfilesPro delivered the job.  Before storing Salesforce files in Amazon S3, the first action was to seamlessly connect 6K+ files from another CRM system into Salesforce without impacting the business process. XfilesPro’s File Migration Utilities feature came into action and the application successfully linked all the 6K+ files with Salesforce objects without affecting the business process. XfilesPro quickly stored all the recently moved and already existing files in the external storage Amazon S3 and subsequently reduced the primary file storage space.  Also read- Effortlessly Store Salesforce Files In S3 With XfilesPro: A Step-By-Step Guide XfilesPro also mapped all the existing notes and attachments and linked them all in one location on the page to make things easy for the users. Often it is difficult for Salesforce admins to configure third-party solutions, to simplify this, XfilesPro support team quickly completed the initial XfilesPro set-up and then helped Mike setting up their Amazon server to enable a smooth file transfer.  After a successful implementation, when we asked Mike about his experience using XfilesPro, he has some really kind words ” The Support and Service that XfilesPro offered is great. With quick support responses to our questions, the support team even provided help on how to’s (not only use their product but other products as well). The team helped us set up the correct settings for the S3 Server, import the other CRM software files into Salesforce via a quick process plus Export the existing Salesforce files to the S3 Server.”  It’s been quite a few months now that Leukaemia Foundation is using XfilesPro and whenever we reach them to know how things are working, it gives us immense pleasure seeing them happy and most importantly relieved. When a solution starts adding real business values rather than just offering a one-dimensional service, it becomes distinctive. And today, when we see XfilesPro placed itself at the top Salesforce external file storage and collaboration solution, we feel proud.  To know more about XfilesPro and how it can help you save huge Salesforce file storage costs, get in touch with our team.   Check the AppExchange page here.    AMARLAL

Being a rapidly growing non-profit organization, ECAD was dealing with highly trained assistance dogs to help veterans, children, and people with disabilities to gain independence and mobility. As the service was expanding to other cities of the state of Connecticut and also to other states, Carrie started facing trouble managing the growing number of Salesforce files and storage space.   While detailing her difficulties to our support team, Carrie told that the application which they were using previously to store their files externally discontinued the service and she was having a tough time finding an alternative solution which can do the job efficiently. However, Carrie’s biggest worry was, they wanted to store their Salesforce files in Team Drive as it is compatible with all platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux) and supports offline as well. But, most of the available solutions were not supporting Team Drive. It was a challenge for us to help Carrie with the best external file storage solution and save additional file storage costs. However, the bigger task was to customize the solution and make it compatible with Team Drive for file storage and collaboration, so that Carrie can use it to meet their specific goals.
